Protecting Your Phone with Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google accounts,
application data, music and other media, downloaded information,
and more. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or password
each time you power on your phone.
Warning! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to
an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset, which
erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone
is stolen, and may be required or recommended in some
organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning
it on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is
controlled by the system administrator.
Before Turning on Encryption, Prepare as Follows:
• Set a lock screen PIN or password.
• Charge the battery.
• Keep the phone connected to the charger.
• Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You must
not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.
When You’re Ready to Turn on Encryption:
1. From the home screen, tap > Settings > Security >
Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your battery is not
charged or your phone is not plugged in. If you change your
mind about encrypting your phone, press the Back key.
Warning! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.
3. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE.
4.
Enter your lock screen PIN or password and tap NEXT.
5. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE again.
The encryption process starts and displays its progress.
Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your
phone may restart several times.
When encryption is complete, you’ll be prompted to enter your PIN
or password.
Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each time you
power on your phone to decrypt it.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it performs
abnormally, you can refer to the chart below. If your particular
problem cannot be resolved using the information in the chart,
contact the dealer where you purchased the phone.
Problem Possible causes Possible solution
Poor
reception
The network signal is too weak
at your current location, for
example, in a basement or
near a tall building, because
wireless transmissions can not
effectively reach it.
Move to a location where the
network signal can be properly
received.
The network is busy at the
current time (for example,
during peak times, there may
be too much network traffic to
handle additional calls).
Avoid using the phone at such
times, or try again after waiting a
short time.
You are too far away from a base
station for your service provider.
You can request a service area
map from your service provider.
Echo or
noise
Poor network link quality on the
part of your service provider.
End the call and dial again. You
may be switched to a better-
quality network link or phone line.
Poor local telephone line quality.
End the call and dial again. You
may be switched to a better-
quality network link or phone line.
Unable
to select
certain
features
Your service provider does not
support these features, or you
have not applied for services
that provide these features.
Contact your service provider.
Problem Possible causes Possible solution
Battery not
charging
The battery or battery charger is
damaged. Contact the dealer.
The phone’s temperature is
below 32°F (0°C) or higher than
113°F (45°C).
Adjust the battery charging
environment to avoid extremes
of temperature.
Poor contact between the
battery and charger.
Check all connectors to make
sure all connections have been
properly made.
Shortened
standby
time
The standby time is related to
your service provider system
configuration. The same phone
used with different service
providers’ systems will not

where signaling is weak,
temporarily power off the phone.
The battery is depleted. In high-
temperature environments,
battery life will be shortened.
Use a new battery.
If you are not able to connect
to the network, the phone will
continue to send out signals
as it attempts to locate a base
station. Doing so consumes
battery power and will
consequently shorten standby
time.
Change your location to one
where the network is accessible,
or temporarily turn off your
phone.
Cannot turn
your phone
on
Battery power has been
depleted. Recharge the phone’s battery.

FCC Regulations
This mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This mobile phone has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to
operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications Commission of the United States.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in
positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the head with
no separation, and near the body with the separation of 10 mm.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed
to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is
on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section
of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: SRQ-Z968.

FOR YOUR SAFETY
vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless
telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless
phones to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may
be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been
rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label
located on the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will
vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If
your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you
may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the
phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for
your personal needs.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for
some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may
be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have
not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try
the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different
locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine
if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider
or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange
policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones
that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch”
or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/
higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have
telecoils in them.)
114 FOR YOUR SAFETY
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against
the head is 0.59 W/kg, for usage near the body is 0.95 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation
distance of 10 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry
this device at least 10 mm away from your body to ensure RF
exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level. To support
body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters that do not
contain metallic components to maintain a separation of 10 mm
between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory that
contains metal was not tested and certified, and using such body-
worn accessory should be avoided.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Mobile Phones
In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones
compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Although
analog wireless phones do not usually cause interference
with hearing aids or cochlear implants, digital wireless phones
sometimes do because of electromagnetic energy emitted
by the phone’s antenna, backlight, or other components. Your
phone is compliant with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI C63.19- 2011).
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices
(hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing,
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more
immune than others to this interference noise and phones also

Electrical Safety
Accessories
Use only approved accessories.
Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories.
Take care not to touch or allow metal objects, such as coins or key
rings, to contact or short-circuit in the battery terminals.
Connection to a Car
Seek professional advice when connecting a phone interface to
the vehicle electrical system.
Faulty and Damaged Products
Do not attempt to disassemble the phone or its accessories.
Only qualified personnel can service or repair the phone or its
accessories.
If your phone (or its accessories) has been submerged in water,
punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you have
taken it to be checked at an authorized service center.
Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a mobile
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
(even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing
lights or light patterns such as when playing games or watching
video. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a
family history of such occurrences, please consult a physician.
Repetitive Strain Injuries
To minimize the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) when texting or
playing games with your phone:
• Do not grip the phone too tightly.
• Press the keys lightly.
• Use the special features that are designed to minimize the times
of pressing buttons, such as Message Templates and Predictive
Text.
• Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax.
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals,
which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore,
you must never rely solely on any wireless phone for emergency
communications.
Loud Noise
This phone is capable of producing loud noises, which may
damage your hearing. Turn down the volume before using
headphones, Bluetooth stereo headsets or other audio devices.
Phone Heating
Your phone may become warm during charging and during normal
use.

pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to
your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when
one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device
and the distance from the interference source, increasing the
separation between them may reduce the interference. You may
also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to
determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Power off your wireless device when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics, or health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical
equipment.
Aircraft
Power off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do
so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board
the aircraft. If your device offers a ‘flight mode,’ this must be
enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Cars
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic
equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile
phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external
antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive Environments
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or
other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling
areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a
blasting area or in areas posted with power off “two-way radios”
or “electronic devices” notices to avoid interfering with blasting
operations.
